Former Bush Admin. Official Says He May Vote For Clinton: Trump Is ‘Dangerous’

Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense under President George W. Bush, said in an interview published Friday that he may vote for Hillary Clinton, citing Donald Trump’s “disturbing” comments regarding foreign policy.

“I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her,” he told German magazine Der Spiegel.

Wolfowitz said he agreed with the 50 Republican national security experts who wrote in a letter that Trump is a security risk.

“He says he admires Putin, that Saddam Hussein was killing terrorists, that the Chinese were impressive because they were tough on Tiananmen Square. That is pretty disturbing,” he told Der Spiegel.

“Putin is behaving in a very dangerous way. And Trump sounds as though he would simply sit back and allow that to go on. I worry about where that would end up,” Wolfowitz later added.

He said that the way Trump regards the United States’ allies is “dangerous.”

“The only way you can be comfortable about Trump’s foreign policy, is to think he doesn’t really mean anything he says. That’s a pretty uncomfortable place to be in. Our security depends on having good relationships with our allies. Trump mainly shows contempt for them,” Wolfowitz said. “And he seems to be unconcerned about the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By doing this he tells them that they can go ahead and do what they are doing. That is dangerous.”
